for the next few seconds i stared at the foam floating on top of my beer . . then i raised my eyes to the dusk pastels disssipating in the evening sky . talking about first wives wasn't a favorite topic for neither of us . i hoped for an end to global warning , too .
sam allowed about thirty seconds to pass before he went editorial on me ." conversation went well , i guess ." he said ." the one with lauren ."
i laughed a little ." went fine . great . better than this one is going . she knows when to leav enough alone ." i chanded the subject , finished expalining the favor i was doing for wallace and cassandra in california .
" this isn't another favor for merideth ?" sam asked ." you're sure about that ?"
"yes," i lied ." i wouldn't be going out there if wallace hadn't begged me to go . he's worried about his daughter ."
sam nodded in a way that was intended to be unconcincing ." when do you leave for LA ? he asked .
" couple days . what about you ? when are you going to the grand canyon >?"
"tomorrow morning ."
" you think the answere merideth wants is in arizona ?" i asked .
" not really . but i told her she had to hire a real PI . TO DO the missing -persons part of the puzzle . staking out the surrogate's apartment in
LA ? tracting her ell phone usage , her credit cards , seeing if she just got a speeding ticket in tallahasse ? that shit -that's how she'll end up finding lisa . i don't have an investigator's license . and i don't want one . i like the puzzle more than the chase . i like identifying perps more than i like trcking them down . this mystery starts that night in th grand canyon .
"anyway , i should get going - i'm heading out early , before dawn . want to be clear of the metro area before all the idiots wake up ."
" you'll end up in the srings just in tome for rush hour down there ."
